The van build STARTS HERE!

The time has officially come where I start converting my THIRD VAN and this is EPISODE 0 - the start of it all! In today's video I do something you guys are probably going to hate me for which is tear down almost all the renovations that this van originally came with.

I did this because honestly, the previous renovations just weren't up to my standards. But it ended up working out because I found out that there was water damage all around and there wasn't any insulation in the walls!

Which was pretty shocking to me but I knew this van build wasn't going to go as smoothly as I wanted it to. This isn't my first van build rodeo so I knew when I bought this van that I would run into plenty of hiccups and this is only the beginning!

But regardless, I'm having a blast flipping this van and I cannot wait to show you guys the future updates!!!!

So glad then that you did that otherwise can you imagine the hell you would of had to go thru finding out there was no insulation so it was a blessing in Disguise. I can't wait to see the progress. I'm so happy for you and absolutely love watching you. Somehow you just give me peace.

Aubrey Evans

Ab SaySup

miguel angel

Looking good Trent, you should add a subscriber wall with everyone’s name 🤩

DNinja

I had the same thought for my build plan. Using foam board to fill the gaps between studs. Just my idea was to use Frost King Duct Insulation. Liking your thought processes.

The struggle garage

RicanHavoc

What an exciting project! I can't wait to see what magic you create 😍

Mike Hoffman

Loved the video. So excited to see it come together and be completed. SO! Your brother is doing a van? Is there gonna be any future collabs? If not in the build, will guys be taking a trip together that'll be vlogged? Sounds awesome to me. Man! You're videos always make the day better, can't wait for more.

Ticia

Good that you found out about the water damage before you went ahead with all the renovations. Terrible it happened but better now that you are creating and renovating it

sami Laitakari

It's starting to look good!! Remember to build maintenance in better place this time✨ 😁😉 Keep the good work trent 🔥💪

Brittany Seaman

I'm completely convinced that whomever the first owner was, realized they were in way over their head and just took it back. Which was probably the smartest thing they could have done given what you've uncovered. Hate that you're having to undo to redo, but can't wait to see it done.

Debra Toombs

Your brothers house looks like a great place for this job! It's looking good!

Leanne Cole

Did you fix the problem with the rubbing on the wheel and how?

Cheri Delgado

New member here. Found your video on the episode in Oregon where you visited the North American Bigfoot Center. (A favorite place of mine). Started binge watching your videos. Very impressive work! Every bit as good as any television show! The drone shots, driving down the road shots...all superb! Happy to help support your travels!

Brent Goodrich

Carpenter Trent over here, impressive build so far !!

Noci 01

This new series is a dream come true for me… you have no idea how much I love this style of video. Thanks Trent!

Jared

How does one learn how to do all this?! Google?

Sammyspack

Hi Trent. Thank you for showing us how you convert your vans. Great work! So much talent.

Robin

Looking really amazing! I don't know how you do it, but you should be proud of your accomplishments and talents! This was so interesting to me! Thanks for sharing!

OldManJax

Great job! New member here. I have been watching your videos for a while now and I figured I need to show a little more support. Your videos got me thinking about getting a van so I can go traveling and fishing with my son. Right now we just hit the local ponds, but watching your adventures makes me want to get out there and find new spots with him. Keep the great content coming!

Roberta Tourville Breslin

It’s a lot of work but you seem to be zipping along! So far I think it looks great!👍

The Rdz Fam

Nooooo! I wish your videos lasted forever 😄

Scott Lyle

Wonder if the previous owner of this van will ever see your videos of flipping it & learn some good things haha

Deon Engelbrecht

Thanks for the video Boet, I’ve been waiting for a while for a new vid, this was great 💯 Greetings from South Africa

Lorraine Renwick

Sumo Boyo!

Awesome Vid Trent. I cannot wait to see the series!

Jess Heidi

Just dipped myself in this video like a piece of sourdough into olive oil. I’m not watching this video, I’m infusing myself with it like a stale baguette. 🤌 Sorry, great video dude! 😀

Crystal Crawford

This was so fun to watch! Can’t wait to see more!!!

Tom Holden

Sarah Dague

Great video! It was very relaxing and educational. You’re so handy! Can’t wait for the next one.

Alan JD

Love the consistency of the roof from the old build! Great to see the build side of things, showing off a whole new skillset here Trent. Ever think of creating your own van build business?

Yoesi Bolin

Joanne Johnston

Everything you've done so far looks amazing! Really looking forward to seeing how it progresses. Thanks for taking us along for the ride :-)

Baardsen Photography

Looking good! Keep up the amazing work and look forward to see how it’s turning out!

Melinda James

I think my favorite part of this whole video was the fact that you took the wall apart. And redid the wiring because you and Millie need to be protected and I got the vibe watching this that the person who bought the van prior to you, probably didn’t have the patience to renovate the van it’s like they gave up. It probably was too much for them, but by the grace of God, it fell into the right hands. I already watched episode one. I can’t wait to see what else you have in store with your renovation. I hope you enjoy Japan. Be safe and indulge in the food and the culture.

Stephen Vu

With such a big van have you thought of having your bed powered with a lift with possibly a couch at the bottom so you can stretch your feet like I see you like to do a lot lol!! Why not a convention oven /microwave up top so you can have an induction and fridge at the bottom!!! Edden and Nicole have an amazing layout gives you that much more space to have a big gaming setup !

Melinda James

That’s a really good idea but it’s kinda like what about Millie though. I don’t think he wants to always have to lift her on the bed. So I feel in my heart he’s gonna make sure things are accessible for her too. Instead of crawling on the counters like she does now. lol i did see what your talking about and I almost said it to him but then I was like nope I won’t put my two cents in because he knows what he wants to do. So our ideas, thoughts, feelings don’t matter cuz it’s not our vehicle. I say that respectfully. He’s such a creative person. I think we should just let him do what he’s gonna do and cheer him on ❤️🙏🏽

Michelle Gergis

Oh my, good thing you checked! It's going to be so cool. Can't wait to see it when it's done.

Hazel&River

That is absolutely incredible Trent 🤘 I watched episode 1 before this one and this really opened my eyes to the sheer scale of talent you obviously possess to be able to bring the 'finished product' of just travelling the land... Incredible Trent 🙏💯✨️♥️

Darryn

Great job !! Seams like you know what you are doing two previous builds helps can't wait to see the end results but having fun watching the Adventure.

OldManJax

What music app do you use for your videos?

Sally Kirchoff

This was a great video. But I’m wondering where I can find you in Japan? You said that we would be coming along with you? You probably need a break though and will put it together for us later. I get it! And I do hope you’re having the time of your life in Japan! Stay cozy! Safe travels Trent! 👍❤️

TyFish [kryyptyyk]

Huh, well. I hadn't noticed this release, so I have watched the follow up YT video first lol. It'll be like going back in time; I know the future! Be well.

Alaskalove

Frustrating I’m sure. But you’re doing awesome!!! Can’t wait to see the end results!!

J-BLEEZY

Trent can you please produce one more iteration of the cozy mugs

Becca Mares

Loving the van build 😍 I generally don’t really love watching build videos but I am really enjoying yours. Learning a lot from you and I can’t wait to see how the rest unfolds. Your layout is seriously the best, and it’s gonna be great in this new rig too.

Chloe C

At the end of the vid, the build is super clean and well thought out! Perfect for the Day 1 build ♥ can't wait to see the end result and enjoying the journey with you and everyone else. P.S I decided to watch this after my dentist appointment... the drills set off my sensitive teeth :'D but enjoyed it nonetheless! Much love to you and Millie x

Melinda James

I sent you a personal message on here regarding the request for a mechanic for the issue that you were having before you left. Please view message on patreon messenger. Also you more then likely have DM’s on Instagram as well where I put the mechanic in the message too. Hes a friend I’ve had since I was a teenager and he’s located ij mooresville, NC but wanted to help y’all.

Siobhan Owens

Wow looking awesome mate, you got loads done. Wow. loving it. Can't wait to see the rest. Bring it on . Xx

Joel Castillo

Alexander Gantt

Ildar Refael

Metal Monkey

Is the schedule foe these videos changed? I thought we'll have 2 patreon vids per month? It is a month now and no videos yet? Just asking.

Trent The Traveler

Hey dude! Sorry yeah I’ve been slacking. With my Japan trip and planning out this build, videos are releasing a little slower. But now that I’m back from Japan, new videos are coming soon.

Nathan King

I loved just the relaxing silence, and watching you put together this build, its coming along great and very surprised to see how much you managed to do in just a short amount of time.

T

how did u learn all those things?

Tater McWeller

Does anybody know where to find the video of him test driving the van and buying it?

Mike Jarvis

Where's the video of Trent buying the new van?
